AI-powered platform with built-in risk management bridges cybersecurity talent shortage, supports vendor consolidation

DALLAS, Aug. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Global cybersecurity leader Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704) has achieved new growth and availability milestones for its cybersecurity platform. Trend Vision One™ now serves over 10,000 enterprise customers worldwide and has also been extended to help small- and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) better manage their cyber risk. Enhanced with new management and operational tools designed specifically for Managed Service Providers (MSPs), the platform simplifies risk management for enterprises while also allowing MSPs to gain operational efficiencies, expand their services and monetize the market opportunity.

Trend’s cybersecurity platform goes beyond single solutions to more efficiently manage the full cyber risk lifecycle.

“SMEs are often the most attractive targets for cybercriminals,” said James Rocker, CEO at IT service provider Nerds That Care. “By identifying and addressing vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, Trend helps level the playing field for organizations that don’t staff large security teams. Our team is looking forward to this next evolution in Trend’s offering for managed services providers and customers.”

Unlike other cybersecurity vendors stitching together disconnected capabilities, Trend’s AI-powered cybersecurity platform goes beyond single solutions to more efficiently manage the full cyber risk lifecycle. Risk management is powered by AI to improve managing asset profiles, predicting attack paths and enabling custom remediation guidance. This means a single security tool can enable teams of all sizes to assess and prioritize risk in real time and take action to build enterprise resilience.

Kevin Simzer, COO at Trend: “This is a major growth period for SMEs, and it’s important to build on secure foundations. We see a critical need to address growing attack surface risk while enterprises are facing a significant lack of cybersecurity talent—that’s a valuable opportunity for the channel. Our expanded platform offering empowers MSPs to seamlessly deliver enterprise-grade cyber risk management to SMEs, enhancing customer business resilience and confidence while increasing the market opportunity for our partners.”

Managing cyber risk is one of the most difficult challenges that SMEs face as threats continue to evolve and multiply, with many lacking sufficient staffing to meet security needs. According to industry association CompTIA, 35% of small and 27% of medium-sized US businesses are assessing risk, but without a formal framework for doing so. A further 15% and 9% respectively are still only at the discussion stage regarding risk management.

Trend Vision One™ for Managed Service Providers offers partners a broad range of proven, enterprise-grade capabilities from a single platform with the integrations they require to efficiently manage their operations. In an industry first, MSPs can now deliver comprehensive, precise and continuous cyber risk management for their customers in a multi-tenant platform, leveraging broad security capabilities for endpoint, email, network, identity, and cloud combined with powerful built-in modules like XDR and Attack Surface Risk Management (ASRM).

Schematic Raises $4.8M in Funding For the Last Mile of Pricing and Packaging For SaaS Companies

Published

on

By

Schematic is transforming pricing and packaging for B2B SaaS companies, allowing product and engineering teams to implement flexible models with minimal maintenance. By eliminating fragmented, homegrown systems, Schematic helps businesses adapt to modern buying preferences and maximize revenue. Now publicly available, the platform includes embeddable UI components and integrates deeply with Stripe. Backed by $4.8M in seed funding, Schematic offers a streamlined solution for managing the full pricing and packaging lifecycle.

BOULDER, Colo., Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Schematic is transforming pricing and packaging for B2B SaaS companies by getting product and engineering teams out of billing projects. With just a few lines of code, businesses can implement pricing and packaging into any application, bridging the gap between outdated, inflexible billing tools and the demands of modern software businesses.

“Maintaining pricing and packaging has been messy for product and engineering teams. Tools exist for finance, but none bridge the gap to support feature fulfillment and user experience. Schematic fills that gap, offering control and transparency from rollout to revenue,” said Fynn Glover, CEO

The company announced today that it is now available to the public after a year in development with a select set of beta customers, and that it is launching Components – embeddable UI elements for purchasing experiences – and a deep integration with Stripe providing a full stack solution for pricing and packaging.

The current pricing and packaging landscape is dominated by fragmented systems and frankenstein implementations. Schematic surveyed 100s of product and engineering leaders and found that their homegrown systems and processes weren’t built for flexibility or to support modern buying preferences such as metering and modular packaging. Consistently, teams struggled to adequately resource pricing and packaging initiatives and, as a result, left significant money on the table.

“Historically, maintaining pricing and packaging for product and engineering teams has been a mess. The market has tools for finance teams in spades, but none that bridge the gap to the application to support feature fulfillment, the end user experience, and internal tools, so we end up building them from scratch. We built Schematic to address that gap, and our product allows businesses to handle the entire lifecycle of a feature from rollout to revenue, offering best-in-class control and transparency to end users out of the box,” said Fynn Glover, CEO of Schematic.

The company wants to eliminate the need for businesses to reinvent the wheel to support pricing and packaging in applications. Schematic offers the flexibility to launch, package, meter, and monitor features from one place, without the tax of architecting and maintaining homegrown systems.

Pricing and packaging sits within a $30B market that includes the tools to license, fulfill, and bill end customers. It faces significant challenges due to the consumerization of B2B SaaS that has led to evolving buying preferences and expectations, pressure on back office operations, and legacy tools that are difficult to implement, costly, and do not integrate well with modern tools and applications. This has led to fragmented, homegrown systems and processes that divert resources to maintain and delay growth initiatives.

Schematic believes that an integrated platform, rather than disconnected tools and processes, should support customers from purchase to feature delivery and the operators tasked with supporting them. The launch of Components extends Schematic’s value proposition with embeddable UI elements that deliver best-in-class purchasing experiences to SaaS customers.

Schematic’s co-founders Jasdeep Garcha, Benjamin Papillon, Giovanni Hobbins, and Fynn Glover are seasoned entrepreneurs with experience on many sides of this problem having most recently led Operations, Product, Growth, and Engineering functions at Automox, Twilio, and Relay Payments. They have previously built successful startups and bring their expertise to Schematic to address the evolving needs of B2B SaaS companies.

The company is launching with $4.8M in seed funding led by MHS Capital with participation from NextView Ventures, Active Capital, Atlanta Ventures, and the founders of LaunchDarkly, Salesloft, Salesforce Pardot, and Crowdstrike.

“The decision to back Schematic was easy, given the clear market need and the team’s proven track record. Schematic is poised for rapid growth by providing an integrated solution for SaaS pricing and packaging,” said Vijay Naggapan, partner with MHS Capital.

Schematic’s platform allows businesses to outsource pricing and packaging with a few lines of code, enabling them to quickly launch new packaging models, take the burden off of engineering almost entirely, and flexibly adjust their pricing and packaging to individual customer preferences. The product has been in beta for a year with customers ranging from early-stage startups to growth-stage scale-ups, all benefiting from the flexibility and control it provides.

“There should be a standard for how digital businesses operate pricing and packaging. Schematic provides that standard, eliminating fragmented systems that frustrate teams and slow down businesses,” said Fynn.

“Schematic has allowed us to manage entitlements and metering with ease, setting us up in just a few days,” said Daniel Chalef, CEO of Zep, an early-stage SaaS company that replaced manual processes with Schematic’s automation. By implementing Schematic Zep has adapted to customer demands for new offerings easily without major engineering investments.
